Corrections
Nobody is error-free; the difference is whether you fix it and whether you own it. This site has kept this page since the build began: anything we got wrong, or anywhere readers could get tripped up, once fixed, we record it honestly below — what was wrong before, and what it's now changed to. Content that touches money (YMYL) especially can't be fudged, so this page stays for good, and new issues get added as we find them. If you spot an error, email us any time on the contact page.
2026-06 · The funding-rate settlement cycle was written as a fixed value
The original problem: the first version, in the funding rate material, treated the futures funding-rate settlement cycle as "fixed, once every 8 hours," in too absolute a tone.
Why it was wrong: the settlement frequency of funding isn't set in stone — it varies by contract, market conditions, and platform rules, and Binance may adjust it. Writing it as a fixed number hands the reader a "fact" that can go stale, or may not even be right at the moment.
How we fixed it: changed it to "usually settles once every 8 hours; the exact cycle and timing go by what Binance's futures page shows," and added the consistent "go by what Binance's page shows" framing wherever it came up. In one line: we downgraded a "fixed value" to "the common case + go by the official source live."
2026-06 · A tool's default fee value was set too low
The original problem: in the first version, one calculator (the one involving fee estimates) had a prefilled default fee rate set too low — closer to certain discounted rates than to the standard rate a typical beginner actually faces.
Why it was wrong: a default that's too low makes the computed cost look lighter than reality, and a beginner estimating from it can easily underestimate the fee erosion of high-frequency fills (a grid, for instance) and form overly optimistic expectations. In a tool that deals with cost, it's better to be conservative than optimistic.
How we fixed it: we adjusted the default to a value closer to the standard rate, and added a clear note in the tool: this is only a prefilled reference value, the actual rate goes by Binance's fee page, and you should refill it with your own account's real rate. The matching note was also synced into How Grid Trading Fees Are Calculated.
2026-06 · "Spot grids can be liquidated too" was written wrong
The original problem: the first version, in one spot discussing grid risk, was imprecisely worded, reading as if "spot grids also carry a forced-liquidation risk."
Why it was wrong: this is a misleading hard error. Spot grids carry no leverage and have no forced liquidation — the worst case is getting stuck and showing an unrealized loss after the price drops below the range, but you won't be liquidated to zero by the system. What can be liquidated is a leveraged futures grid. Conflating the two could needlessly frighten people about spot grids, and also lead people to underrate the real risk of a futures grid — bad on both ends.
How we fixed it: swept the whole site and corrected it — clearly distinguishing "spot grid: no forced liquidation, only getting stuck with an unrealized loss" from "futures grid: carries leverage, has liquidation risk" — and unified this wording across the Complete Grid Guide, Can a Futures Grid Get Liquidated, and elsewhere. The specific liquidation mechanics now also point to the Liquidation Price Calculator so readers can feel it for themselves.
What to do if you spot an error
If you find something on this site that's wrong, a number that's stale, or a step that doesn't match what you actually did, you're welcome to email [email protected] (pasting the link and rough paragraph is best). If it checks out, we'll fix it and append the change to this page. For this site's overall stance on data accuracy, see the Risk Notice.
